You have a DNA sequence of 1600 bp. To characterize it, you decide to make a restriction map. Cutting with the first enzyme, you show by electrophoresis that the fragments produced are 400 and 1200 bp, respectively

After using the second enzyme, you recover 700-bp and 900-bp fragments. After treatment with both enzymes, fragments were 300, 400, and 900 bp. Which is the correct map? A) -900 ------/400--/3--- B) -400/--900-----/300 --- C) -300-/--400--/--900---- D) -400-/300-/---900----- E) -400-/-100/--300--/900
